How to configure an FTP site on Windows 10
Create an FTP site using the following instructions:
- Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Control Panel.
- Open Administrative Tools.
- Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- Expand and right-click Sites on the Connections pane.
- Select Add FTP Site.
- Name your new FTP site and enter the path to the FTP folder you want to use to send and receive files.
Note: You can also use the Make New Folder button to create a specific folder to store your FTP files. - Click Next.
- On Binding and SSL Settings leave all the default settings, but change the SSL option to No SSL.
Note: It's worth pointing out that in a business environment or on an FTP server that will host sensitive data, it's best practice to configure the site to require SSL. - Click Next.
- On Authentication, check the Basic option.
- On Authorization, select Specified users from the drop-down menu.
- Type the email address of your Windows 10 account or local account name to allow yourself access to the FTP server.
- Check the options Read and Write.
- Click Finish.
